shape: spheroidal. symmetry: radial/spherical. apertures: pantoporate; numerous distinct circular pores evenly distributed across the entire surface. wall structure: thick exine. edge definition: distinct, but jagged, wavy, or slightly scalloped due to the optical section of the thick exine and surface micro-projections between pores. surface texture: pitted or 'golf ball' appearance with numerous small, regular depressions. pores or furrows: multiple circular dark spots representing pores. internal contents: obscured by the thick, highly patterned exine. color and staining: amber to brownish-orange with slight pinkish hues on the periphery, indicating some stain uptake but retaining natural pigmentation. other notable features: classic 'golf ball' morphology
